Mulberry Tree Poem by Glen Kappy

Mulberry Tree

Rating: 3.8


from 'While Passing Through'/Spring

Walking beneath one—
the sidewalk purpled
by berries crushed—
I see why some
choose fruitlessness.

Yes, they missed out on the mess, but also on delicious, nutritious fruit! I grew up with purple-stained feet...
